Planning Organization Asks For S.r. 415 Trail

Volusia - In Brief

DAYTONA BEACH -- The Volusia County Metropolitan Planning Organization agreed Tuesday to ask the state to consider a recreational trail along State Road 415.

The Florida Department of Transportation has hired a planning firm to develop a vision of S.R. 415 that would avoid the kind of urban sprawl common on many other four-lane roads.

As part of that study, the organization is requesting that planners consider a recreational trail. Seminole County is planning for one along its portion of S.R. 415, organization officials said.

If that is built, planning officials said, the trail could hook up with three other recreational paths being considered in Volusia -- one around Lake Monroe and two others that would connect the east and west sides of Volusia.
